Our time at the campground was nice but it was too hot for me at the start.  The last two days were more comfortable however.  Here at home,  our Wednesday is very cool for mid August but I’m loving it.  The fee […]

We’ll be heading up to our campground in a little while and I will probably not be heard from again until I get back.  Not sure if the WiFi will be working but it’s very unreliable when it does work.  It will be m […]

Yesterday was quite hot and today is about the same.  It’s a bit too warm for my liking but I’ll try to enjoy this last month of summer.  It’s hard to believe that summer is almost over already, and I can’t c […]

Very warm weather has returned once again, and highs today could reach near 90°F this afternoon.  That also brings s slight chance of storms for us, and they are already showing up on radar over Lake Michigan.  At […]

I wish that our summer weather would be like this all the time.  Highs in the 70s and low 80s are perfect as far as I’m concerned.  The forecast is showing the heat returning next week along with a stormy p […]

Today may be the last of our comfortable days before the heat returns once again.  This summer has gone so fast and it’s hard to believe that fall is just a month away.  We better enjoy it while it lasts a […]

Tuesday was mostly cloudy with scattered rain showers.  We only got 0.08″ and the showers were wide spread and brief.  The biggest factor yesterday was the temperatures.  We didn’t even make it to 70° which is unu […]

This has been a very wet few days for us.  We received about an inch and a half over the last 24 hours and that isn’t including what we got on Saturday night.  There is certainly no shortage of water for my area e […]

The rain began late last night and has continued since then.  There was 0.87″ at 8 AM in my gauge, and since then, we have received an additional 0.35″.  We may hit 2 inches yet by the time it’s done.  Radar is sh […]

I haven’t posted a blog for over a week because I have had no WiFi available.  The campground internet was hit by lightning in the storm 2 weeks ago, and it hasn’t been repaired yet.  I hope this doesn’t last t […]

We will be going back to our campground today and the weather sounds good for traveling.  There is no rain in the forecast and temperatures will be comfortable.  Unfortunately, there are more 90s coming for the w […]

There are numerous showers popping up on radar but they all seem to  be missing us.  I expected to hear the rumble of thunder overnight but no such luck.  Everything was dry this morning.  We’ll be heading up to […]

Yesterday was quite comfortable, and today will be also .  But there is more hot weather knocking on the door and that is expected by the weekend.  We’ll be heading up to our campground on Thursday, just in time f […]

Severe thunderstorms rocked northern Michigan early yesterday causing damage to a school in Cheboygan, and many trees down across the northern areas of the state.  Even our campground had some damage done, mainly […]

This radar image was from this morning when a line of thunderstorms moved across the state, causing severe storm warnings in various places.   We were under a warning briefly, but there was nothing here that was s […]

We took a drive to Sleeper State Park in Caseville yesterday.  Caseville is in the thumb area of the state and was a favorite camping destination for us when my kids were little.  We hadn’t been there in years a […]

Rain began around 3 AM this morning and left 0.50″ in my gauge.  It was very welcome and exceeded the predictions.  Light rain continues at this time but radar is showing that it won’t last much longer.  Re […]

We complained when it was cold, and now we complain because it’s too hot.  Why can’t the weather ever reach a happy medium?  At least we got some very beneficial rain last week and the lawn has greened up a […]

Yesterday was as perfect as a summer day in Michigan can be.  Temperatures were comfortable and the humidity and dew points were low.  There was just enough breeze to open the windows and give the AC a rest.  To […]

After all the heat of last week, today feels really refreshing.  Highs are only expected to be around 80° and that’s sounds wonderful to me.  We may just be able to give the AC a rest.  We have a few clouds thi […]
